Left scratching my head.....

Life is truly AMAZING!!!! This has been one hell of a week. On Tuesday, my boss snapped at me for taking work off his desk. I thought I was being pro-active and helpful by not sitting around and waiting. He tells me that I ought to do more electrical design work, that he doesn't pay me to be a drafter and if I need something to do to come ask him for work. I'm standing there wondering, "Who pissed in your coffee today?" So being a person with a mean streak, I took my time finishing the assignment I had on my desk. Mind you, I could have finished in an hour but had 2.5 hours left before going home and I wasn't in the mood to start somethinng new that was going to require me to think. A great man once told me, "Don't think, just do." In the past, I would have marched into his office and given him a piece of my mind. The little voice inside my head told me not to, that I would find out soon enough.

Well.....low and behold, the next day he calls me in his office and tells me that I'll report to the senior electrical designer he recently hired. He feels that I need more supervision than what he's been able to provide. Which is true; the company is small and he was the only person available to answer questions. Now, he has someone on staff who has a background designing electrical commercial(retail, office spaces, supermarkets, restaurants, etc.) work and is willing to "step up to the plate" and take on some responsibility. Which is a great thing because this allows him to focus on business development. What's even better is that I don't have to deal with "Big Head". Big Head has a chip on his shoulder. I wouldn't call him racist; he's prejudice. He likes his women submissive and timid and that's something that I'm not. I'm boisterous, full of life and have a backbone. I'm not letting some knucklehead who reminds me of Charlie Brown speak to me any which way. I can't stand him and it shows. I don't talk to him except through email. I pretend he doesn't exist; it's safer that way 'cause I wanted to open a can of WHOOP A$$!!!!! This new arrangement works because I don't have to talk to him and he's NOT to have direct contact with me. If he wants to know the status of a project, he's to ask my supervisor or the boss, not me. Karma is a b@&%h. HEHEHEEE ;)

On a completely different subject, in order to get GA license as a massage therapist (MT), you need to be nationally certified. It's a test comprised of 160 questions ranging from business, pathology, muscles etc. Everyone I know has FAILED this damn test. I got a call from someone who missed passing by 4 points. 4 POINTS!!!! My heart sank because I know she studied. The test isn't cheap either; it's $225 each time. I'm only taking the test ONCE, that's it. I didn't submit my application like the rest of my former classmates. I couldn't wait to finish school. Things started getting crazy at work and I haven't made an effort to study. The test is comprehensive; 2hrs 40 mins long and goes over things that took me 10 months to learn. I would love to get it over with, but I have to logical. I'm not paying that kind of money and not passing. THAT'S CRAZY!!!! I've done enough crazy things in my life and throwing money away ain't one of them. I'll take my time to study and take the test when I'm good and ready.


Stay tuned for the next adventure.......
